I’ve successfully integrated Zoom into my Laravel application using a server-to-server OAuth personal access token, replacing the previous JWT token. However, when I attempt to join a meeting, it remains stuck on the “waiting for host” message without actually starting the class. This issue is urgent, and I need to resolve it to ensure that Zoom meetings can start as intended. I have already reached out to Zoom’s technical team for assistance.

@vishnuravi01993 have you enabled joined before the host setting for the meeting? If not, it will wait for the host to start the meeting
